|
protection, lining
|
|
what is the function of nervous tissue
|
neurons- transmitters
neurogliat- support |
|
anatomy of the long bone
|
longer than it is wide
diaphysis = shaft epiphses = bone ends yellow marrow- storage of lipids and fats articulatar cartilage-covers epiphses |

|
simple- break w/o soft tissue damage
compund- breaks through tissue (always complete) spiral- twisting motion greenstick- partial break |
|
how does a fracture heal
|
1. hemotoma forms b/c blood vessles get ruptured (bruise)
2. fibrocartilage callus 3. bony callus 4. formation of bone a. osteoclasts - destroyers b. osteoblasts- producers c. ostercytes- bone cells |

|
what is muscle fatigue
|
inability to maintain contraction. build up of lactic acid
|
|
what is oxygen debt
|
amount of oxygen ecessary to break down lactic acid
|
|
where is the musicl origin and insertion
|
insertion is the more fixed point of attachment
insertion is the more moveable point of attachment muscle action pulls insertion toward the origin |
|

|
1. direction
2. location 3. size 4. number or origins 5. shape 6. origin and insertion location 7. action |
|
what are the 3types of muscle tissue and where are they located
|
*cardiac- striated, uninucleate, involuntary
*skeletal- attached to bone/skin, long fibers, multinucleate, striated, voluntary *smooth- walls of hollow visceral organs, uninucleate, unstriated, involuntary |
|
how does a muscle contract
|
AChE removes ACh from the muscle fiber receptors --> relaxation
|
|
